[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nak1017:
Yes, in fact I switched from an XO skin to a Ghost Armor on my GNex, but I did it only because of the case I was using was de-laminating the XO skin off the screen. IMHO, Ghost Armor skins have a better hold on the screen so if you're using a higher coverage case (like the case-mate tough-mate), it seems to hold better and give a better overall result with very little orange peel. If you're not, the XO skin works great and seems to give a "cleaner" result with practically no orange peel.

The Ghost Armor is actually my 5th skin on this phone... I've gone through Zagg, Skinomi, BestSkinsEver, XO skin and Ghost Armor, and none of them were perfect. The Zagg peeled within 2 days and just never looked right. The skinomi and BSE weren't much better for peeling but were atleast clearer, especially the BSE. The XO skin was the clearest of the bunch and held better than the others, but after ~1.5 weeks started getting little bubbles along the side and POW, peeled in a corner and never looked right again. Now I'm on to Ghost Armor, had them trim the edges a bit before they installed it and haven't had a problem in ~2weeks. It's not quite as clear as the XO skin or the BSE, but it's not really too bad at all (ALOT nicer than the Zagg) and it's staying put so far...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Phazenine-:
Agree that Ghost Armor is the best of the bunch
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeCore:
i had a ghost armor screen protector on my droid x and had to remove it because when i looked at it with polarized sunglasses on i could barely see it, it was just a rainbowed mess. this is not the case with the xo protector.

might be something you want to look into.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cingkrab:
Does anyone know how either one of these guys stack up against the SGP Flex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheCIScommander:
Xo skins is better

The xo skin felt much less rubbery and was far less tacky. I didn't apply mine right so I'm using ghost armor right now. Because the xo skin is thinner it's much more responsive. The cut for the galaxy nexus was better on the xo skin as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lincolnskilz:
I have the ghost armor on my phone for 5 months note and works well. It's smooth and doesn't not have a lot if orange peel effect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Specialosio:
I have xo, I think some months now.. almost 4.. well, is pretty good, but after some weeks I star to notice some like blister, whitout air inside, is strange.. and I never really lost the orange skin effect... I don't looking for a different one because I think is a really protective skin and I like the sensation when I touch it, but compare the price should be better..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robmc826:
Does the ghost Armor cover the entire screen or does it have a gap around the edge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
XO Skins has a regular fit http://xoskins.com/cell-phone-skin-...tectors/samsung-galaxy-nexus-screen-protector and a case fit version http://xoskins.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-screen-protector-case-fit

The case fit ones are smaller and have a gap around the edges. Initially I used the regular fit and then got a case fit when I swapped cases. I have a review I did of their with pics as well as a bunch of other folks. They are the best imo. But out of the two brands XO Skins and Ghost Armor are easily the higher quality brands. Most others that I have must resell cheap chinese stuff from alibaba.com The XO doesnt have orange peel and hides finger prints very well. Hang on to the spray bottle cus you can use that to clean your phone later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danijel00:
I tried to order XO Skins, but I think they don't ship to my country... (Serbia)

Is there some online retailer that ships?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robmc826:
stretched than you very much for that response. When the BSE eventually starts to peel i will try the XO.
[General Questions and Answers] Marks Baby Moon:
Hi Everyone!

I am still new to the Android phones and need some help. I have a Samsung Galaxy phone that I bought from T-mobile. I want to switch carriers to a different cell phone provider, but have been told that it can't be done. Is there a reason for this, or a way to switch providers with this phone? I would appreciate all help and advice, as I am completely lost. Thank you for your time!
[General Questions and Answers] eveadams:
Need more information about the phone. Give us the model. Is this Galaxy S II, Galaxy S?

I would check the phone's specs. Usually T-Mobile phones have 1700MHz 3G only so the phone can't be used on other 3G network.

This doesn't mean you can't use it on other 2G networks.

Give us the phone model and network you want to switch to.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark lord me:
In the states each of the carrier uses networks that are not compatible with each other. (And i mean pop out a sim card and put it in without flashing new radios and such)

This is only really a problem in the US as others in the majority of the world have standards among their carriers so all their phones are interchangeable

Hello:

I unlocked the bootloader on my HTC Jetstream following the instructions on HTC Dev. After the unlock was completed my device keeps crashing upon loading the android OS. I can play around with it for about 10 seconds then it restarts. The only time it does not crash is when its connected to USB cable to my laptop. Can anyone shed any light on this issue?

Many thanks!

Take out the sim card and use WiFi only.

I own the VZW Razr, I turned it on for the first time and it did a OTA update and I wish to root it.

Phone Information is as follows:

[HTC Amaze 4G] apenaroks:
I am having little luck rooting my Amaze 4G. I ran the Mac version of the one click root, however, after the terminal says "daemon started successfully" it hangs and does nothing. It has been sitting like that for 10 minutes now. Anyone have this problem? Or know what I should do?

[UPDATE]

I turned on USB debugging and got it to run, and the terminal returned "SUCCESSFUL".

However, after rebooting the phone, the phone is not rooted. And yes, my boot loader is unlocked using the HTCDev website.

Any thoughts?

Also the Amaze is running on Software number: 1.43.531.3
[HTC Amaze 4G] xologist:
it could be because the commands for MAC are different than from windows.

mac commands contain a " ./ "

example: ./adb connect

etc

see if you can edit the script.. or paste the script here.

ill fix it
[HTC Amaze 4G] apenaroks:
Alright, I got the one click root to work..... Kind of....

I have a Galaxy Tablet with rooted VZW 2.3.5. I have installed certain .apk's (Google Finance for example) in the /system/app folder with no problem. Other files, such as Opera Mobile, will display an icon but will force close if I open the file. If I install Opera normally. then it will work until the device reboots. I would like to add Opera as a system app in case a factory reset is required. Am I missing a step?

Thank you for replying. I have a copy of the .apk for Opera and I put it into the correct directory. It is also in the app list afterwards. The problem is that it acts like it is going to open, then it immediately force closes. I have several apps installed this way and those apps work properly.

I know this has nothing to do with the Evo 3D, but I saw no section dedicated for this topic. Also I've grown attached to this area of the forum.

I just purchased a Logitech Revue for $79.99. So far.....what a piece of ****! I have a PC, a PS3, a HP Touchpad, and an HTC Evo 3D. Am I just tech spoiled and expecting too much from this device? Is it worth holding on to, or should I return it? Any advice is appreciated.

You must have been expecting alot. GoogleTV is ok. At least the honeycomb upgrade improved its functionality. I have the sony googletv that comes with the blueray player.

Some of the apps are ok, and having netflix and browser capabilities on my family room tv are nice too.

I was thinking it was a bit of over kill to have purchased it since my media room is chock full of devices and entertainment that already provide more than what the revue does.

[HTC EVO 3D] KMyers:
Hello,

I must confess that I am a self proclaimed Android Nutcase. I currently have (active and in use) a HTC EVO 3D, Logitech Revue, ASUS Transformer, HTC Thunderbolt, and a Viewsonic gTablet. I will exclude the Sony LiveView as it barely works.

Case and point, every one of these devices serves a purpose and does it well.

Logitech Review - Lets think of this as a smart TV, Its great for Netflix and Youtube. I really dont use it for anything more. It would be nice if it had a slingbox style feature but I am not holding my breath for it any time soon. It would also be cool if I can receive notifications on it (Google Voice, Email, etc)

HTC EVO 3D - This is my daily driver, I use it to manage my life. It is either running my own modded CyanogenMod 7 build or the Everolv ICS Preview (Depends on how I feel today).

ASUS Transformer - This is my 2nd brain, I often use it more then my laptop and computer (my laptop is in for repairs anyway). Its rooted and running a modded Honeycomb Build)

HTC Thunderbolt - I needs me some LTE Love :o (when Verizon is not having issues however). Its my work phone however I normally just use the EVO for my exchange. Its rooted with a sense based ROM.

Viewsonic gTablet - This is really a poor example on how an Android Tablet should have been launched. It had a really bad Viewsonic Skin that made it close to unusable. Thankfully it is VERY hackable and nearly Unbrickable thanks to NVFlash. Currently its running a honeycomb port and is at my desk with a 24-7 live view of a server monitoring system.

Android in general makes it easy to have multiple devices and allows them to share information between them
[HTC EVO 3D] eck0728:
FYI GTV has a plugin now for slingplayer just saying... go to the splotlight app then go to all, at the bottom you'll see a link for slingplayer...
[HTC EVO 3D] MindSplit:
That's how I use my devices too. Android has made it beautifully fluid to hop from phone, tablet, pc, etc. The Logitech Revue seems to add extra steps to access simple things like GMail. The streaming aspect of it is indeed neat, but i can just as easily do the same with my other gadgets.

Thanks for the advice guys, as always it is much appreciated. I'll hold on to it since I'm within the return period and they might surprise us with some new features.

Why does every new android release have to take away freedom and feel less and less 'open'?

In any case, I just flashed the experimental CM9 and I was greeted with an inability to restore my APNs from my usual app (APN Backup & Restore from Ritesh Sahu) because apps are no longer allowed to modify APN files on 4.0.

I would like to know what the simplest way to backup and restore my APNs is in this situation. Is there some simple way to create a flashable ZIP or something similar to restore them with?

If you have a Nandroid backup you could restore that, then write down your APN and save it some where.

You can use HiApn on market to restore your apn that you backed up from another rom.

However for it to work on ICS you need to make it a system app. You can do so in TiBu options.

Works for me no problem.

The app can also set some automatic ones based on your carrier which worked for me but looked a little different than the ones on my other phones.

I am looking to get an unlocked Windows Phone, so I need a suggestion on which one and where.

Price - around $350 USD

Form Factor - full touchscreen 4" or less

Camera - I want good camera optics. MP does not matter, just quality

Nothing else really matters (internal storage). AMOLED is nice and a FFC would be cool but not necessary.

The HTC Radar seems to be in my price range. Is this a good option? Best place to buy?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyFZ1S:
The Lumia 900 is to be honest a nice phone but lacks the charm of the slightly smaller 800 with its curved glass etc, Screen size is great @ 4.3" and displays as nicely as the 800, It is of course heavier and have noticed slight lag once in a while on main screens whilst scrolling, This never occured on the 800, I am awaiting a Titan 2 so if it turns up soon will update as to whether its as good as the lumia 900 or not, Both have FFC which I missed on the 800 and the Titan has a slightly larger screen @ 4.7" but SLCD compared to Lumias AMOLED, The 900 came pre-installed with Tango 8773 update but tbh haven't noticed much of a difference as yet, All it really boils down to is do you prefer the square sharp angular edges of the Lumia or rounded almost boring looking HTC which all look alike, Performance wise there probably wont be much difference.:)
